second chance

I had such an unforgettable and fearful morning last Monday, August 18. I woke up at around 4 am with blood clots on my underwear. I didn't know what to do. All I know is that I was so frightened that I was crying while waking my spouse up to bring me to the hospital.
My spouse didn't say a word and just accompanied me to the doctor. I saw in his eyes that there were a lot of questions as to what is happening but he can't say anything. After hours of waiting (which seemed a lifetime) for the doctor's advice, we weren't still sure as to what we can expect. We were told that we can only be so sure if everything's all right if an ultrasound will be done to see if our baby is fine. However, the ultrasound can't be done that day because they said that it was a holiday and that ultrasounds are done on office hours. We decided that we'd just go home and I'd just call my ob-gyne and ask for his advice.
I was able to talk to my ob-gyne through the phone and he gave me a prescription. I had to take duvadilan and duphaston, both to relax my uterus from contracting and prevent an abortion and any further bleeding. I was advised to be on bed rest until after three days for him to see me personally and an ultrasound be done.
While waiting for my spouse who bought my medicine, I sent messages to a few of my friends and relatives (i only had little load left on prepaid) to ask for prayers. I also prayed that time. As a matter of fact, on the way to the hospital and all most every other minute of silence, I was praying on my mind that God will not take our baby away and let us have him/her.
I barely cried afterwards as the doctor also advised that i take enough rest and for me not to think of anything stressful but only positive thoughts. Anyway, it's such a relief to know that aside from my spouse, my brothers, parents, relatives, and friends expressed their support and prayers for me and our baby. I was optimistic that everything will be all right, specially when my best friend sent me an sms saying that "GOD IS IN CONTROL."
It was friday, August 22 when I had my ultrasound and first check up with my ob gyne since the incident last Monday. I can't describe the feeling when i heard the sonologist said that the baby is doing good. Heartbeat and development is normal. The doctor advised that i be on continued bed rest because the baby is not completely out of danger.
Yesterday, August 25, I had another check-up with my ob-gyne. He said that I have to have a lot of water intake as my baby's amniotic fluid is inadequate. He then suggested that I get a liter of IV (intravenous fluids or suero) to make sure that my baby will get enough amniotic fluid faster. I was then told that my next check up will be four weeks after that and another ultrasound is needed for us to know if our baby's development is perfectly fine. For the meantime, I have to continue the bed rest so as not to endanger our baby's life anymore.
Last night, I was able to have a good night sleep for the first time since that incident. I know we still have to go a long way in terms of waiting for this pregnancy to be over. Nonetheless, the thought that we were given a second chance to prove that we can take care of our baby is enough for me. After countless prayers, God gave me the peace of mind and in my heart I feel His assurance that everything will be all right.
